select number of input fields..

Anon

This might not need php.. but I thought I'd give it a try and ask the question in this forum.

I want to have a page that shows an option select field where users can choose from number, say 1 to 5. ONce it's selected, the page then shows the corresponding number of Input fields.

So, if a user selects 3, hits the submit button, the page will then show 3 input fields.

THnaks for your time!

<?php
if (!$submit) {
?>

:
<body>
<form action="thisFormURL" method="post">
<select name="fields">
<option value="1">1
<option value="2">2
<option value="3">3
<option value="4">4
<option value="5">5
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go!" name="submit">
</body>

</form>
<?php else {?>

:
<body>
<?php
for ($i=0;$i<$fields;$i++) {
echo "<input type=\"text\">";
}
?>
</body>

You'll probably need to pop in some other HTML in there, but this should give you roughly what you need.

Please also note that you should target the same page in the form (i.e. if you name the file form.php, you should target form.php).
